[Sam Hontalas]

Heat ruled the day. We started out at 80 with east winds.  Mid 80s most of the day. In the afternoon the winds shifted to the west then died down around 1:45 , with the temperature hitting 90. We called it at 2:00.

TVs were once again the dominant species with several kettles of 15 or more forming mostly in the east. In the noon hour one of the kettles produced an adult bald eagle above the fm towers. The five bwha were spotted in the last two hours.
